The "Honor of the Pritz Family" in 1985 is still the classic Hollywood flavor of the 1940s and 1950s, especially in several aspects (although there are obvious traces of the godfather, especially the first wedding):
image:
It changed from black and white to color, and the lighting changed from cold and hard to natural and soft, and even used a lot of outdoor scenes and natural light. The composition is basically the same, mainly triangular composition, occasionally abrupt lens angle, character as the center, the lens seldom leaves the character, and the pursuit of dramatic character scheduling (a well-designed scene scheduling that relies on reality)
Narrative:
The two lines go hand in hand. Both the individual represented by love and the society represented by family honour are constantly swaying in lies and trust, and finally gathered on Charly's choice alone, which is very classic Hollywood.
In addition, the characterization still pays attention to the dialogue, the most typical is the scene where Charly and Irene met again in LA at the beginning. Different from classic Hollywood, it has a lot of natural dialogues, no carefully crafted witticism and satire, but its performance is still monotonous and fixed, without ups and downs and surprises. We know the ending at the beginning of a scene.
Furthermore, another characteristic of classic is that its narrative sense of paragraph is quite obvious. For example, the director makes C and I fall in love quickly, through tender eyes and affectionate confession, this is a cross-section, and one of the two poles in this narrative is quickly and easily shaped by a cross-section. In the subsequent plots, this relationship was challenged by lies, but it never seemed to be enough to impress the audience. I think one of the reasons is that the audience has never been selected. (That is, even knowing that Irene may lie, the price does not seem to be too great, because the love between C and I did not make us fall in love with her. In other words, the shaping of this love is not deep enough, not successful enough, and there is no "people" "The level of cuteness, and there is no moral merit that is enough to make the audience prefer (the liar status can never get justify, because she is a liar and killer from beginning to end, the only sincerity is love, and love is shaped Not successful enough, because the audience doesn’t know why C and I are attracted to each other, some just look at each other))
In summary, what is the classic sense, I think the most important thing is the sense of structure, the overall structure of the film, the structure of a scene, there is a clear sense of design.
